For the last day under one pot / combo meals, I have the very famous Pongal served with Sambar and the evergreen Vada with Rasam. I am a hard core fan of South Indian breakfast . My elder daughter went to Chennai after getting married but after a couple of years she shifted here for three years. In these three years every time we went to her house it was always for breakfast. It was always a nice big spread. Both my daughter and her mil are fantastic cooks, specially South Indian . Now that she has gone back to Chennai, we miss those breakfasts ! Here is a breakfast which is no way close to the one she used to make , but definitely very pleasing . I cannot talk much about a South Indian Breakfast as you guys are well versed with this cuisine. Here is a little effort, hope you guys enjoy it.

Perfect comfort food for me…love the spread
Such a delicious and filling South Indian breakfast. Looks sooooo good.
This is what I make whenever I have guest. Evergreen and everyone's fav. Your spread looks so inviting Vaishali..
One of my favorite.. Instead of rasam vada I would have gone for sambhar vada but would never say no to this platter.
Its been a while i made pongal sambar vada, now you are tempting me.
You have done this so well Vaishali..what a lovely spread!
Such a wonderful spread.Love to grab and eat from screen.
Such an awesome South indian meal! Loved it 🙂
That's a perfect combination looks so delicious…
Reminds me of eating breakfast in a SOuth Indian restaurant. I always choose this combo 🙂
That is mouthwatering and a heavy breakfast. Wonderful combo. 🙂
